managing our deficit in a credible way that will get our deficit under control, it builds on the deficit reductions we've already done, we have already done since we started this debate and simpson-bowles recommendations came out. we have already done $2.4 trillion in deficit reduction, $1.8 trillion in spending reductions, $600 billion in revenues. this is very similar to how the simpson-bowles proposal was made. you have a plausible baseline. i'm not going to get too technical about all this. you're not using smoke and mirrors. you're using a realistic baseline in order to do the deficit reduction. it's achievable. it's doable. it's credible. and you deal with tax expenditures. one more point about tax expenditures, senator coons, because you're exactly right. we have provisions in the spending programs of this country that invest in energy security, and that's subject to sequestration because it's an appropriation bill, but we have provisions in the tax code that gives special breaks to the oil and gas industry. these are expenditures. these are revenues that we're hemorrhaging. they
